Conservation of feline semen. Part 1 : Cooling and freezing protocols / G.C. Luvoni, E. Kalchschmidt, S. Leoni, C. Ruggiero. - In: JOURNAL OF FELINE MEDICINE AND SURGERY. - ISSN 1098-612X. - 5:4(2003), pp. 203-208.
Abstract:
There has been increased interest recently in the conservation of wild felids and
preservation of valuable cat breeds. Assisted reproduction, by means of artificial
insemination (AI), is an important tool for developing breeding programs for
conservation. Optimal use of AI requires accurate data on semen conservation
protocols and its long-term storage/survival. In this paper, semen cooling and
freezing processes are described, with special emphasis on the results obtained in
experiments performed in the domestic cat. Conception rates after AI in wild and
domestic cats are also reported.
